Winnipeg fashion part 2: spring
Spring is often heralded for its beauty and gift of new life. However, as the three feet of snow that coats Winnipeg during the winter months begins to melt, turning the streets into water-clogged canals and muddy ravines, we are taunted with the harsh reality that the cute open-toed pumps strutting down Marc Jacobs’ dry, mud-free runway just won’t work, so follow these tips instead and stay dry while looking cute.
Stay away from: Suede.
Though there’s nothing quite like a buttery soft suede bomber jacket or a pair of chic suede ankle boots, suede is one material that does not do well when mixed with moisture.
Try out: Wellies.
Ever since Kate Moss rocked a pair of black rubber rain boots with denim hot pants and a studded belt at the very muddy Glastonbury Music Festival, the dreaded “wellie” has gotten a chic make over from high end designers and bargain shops alike. Once you get over the fact that the last time you wore them you were probably forced into them by your mom you’ll fall in love too.
Wear with: Distressed jeans, a crisp white shirt, a boyfriend blazer and way too many rings and bangles courtesy of your local thrift shop.
